Nail pohsh

Quick-breaking foams consist of a miscible solvent system such ethanol (qv) [64-17-5] and water, and a surfactant that is soluble in one of the solvents but not in both. These foams are advantageous for topical appHcation of pharmaceuticals because, once the foam hits the affected area, the foam coUapses, deUvering the product to the wound without further injury from mechanical dispersion. This method is especially usehil for treatment of bums. Some personal products such as nail poHsh remover and after-shave lotion have also been formulated as quick-breaking foams. 

Isopropyl alcohol is also employed widely as a solvent for cosmetics (qv), eg, lotions, perfumes, shampoos, skin cleansers, nail poHshes, makeup removers, deodorants, body oils, and skin lotions. In cosmetic appHcations, the acetone-like odor of isopropyl alcohol is masked by the addition of fragrance (144). 

Products such as aftershave lotions, hair tonics, and soaps contain additives purely for esthetic reasons. In many cases, though, the colorant is a significant functional part of a cosmetic, often comprising half of its total weight. Some cosmetics, including eyebrow pencils, nail poHshes, and rouges, are really Httie more than colorants mixed with one or more materials that serve simply as binders, vehicles, or diluents to give the product desirable appHcation properties (29,36-40). 

Guanine is used in Hpsticks, nail poHshes, and eye makeup. 

Bismuth oxychloride [7787-59-9]—Cl Pigment White 14, Cl No. 77163. A synthetically prepared white or nearly white amorphous or finely crystalline, odorless powder consisting principally of BiOCl. Bismuth oxychloride is synthetic pearl essence. It is used in Upstick, nail poHsh, eye makeup, and other cosmetics to produce a lustrous, pearly effect. 

Benzyldiethyl[(2,6-xylylcarbamoyl)methyl]ammoniumbenzoate (denatonium benzoate [3734-33-6] Bitrex) is an extremely bitter tasting, nonirritating, and nonmutagenic compound that has been widely used in many household products such as detergents, nail poHsh removers, and cleaning agents, to prevent childhood poisoning. It is also used as an alcohol denaturant. 

Tin(lV) oxide occurs in nature as mineral cassiterite. It is used to make specialty glasses, in manufacturing enamels and pottery, for pohshing glass marbles, metals and decorative stones, as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles, in perfumes, and nail pohshes. 

Nail pohsh consists of flexible lacquers, pigments such as organic dyes, iron or chromium oxides, and ultramarine blue along with drying agents and binders or vehicles such as ethyl acetate that evaporate on drying. Nail polish remover is usually an organic solvent such as acetone or ethyl acetate. 

The primary use of this compound is as a solvent for cellulose acetate, certain synthetic and natural resins, and dyes. Other applications are in jet fuel deicing, sealing moisture-proof cellophane, dyeing leather, and use in nail pohshes, varnishes, and enamels. 

Several cosmetic products contain solvents. These include nail pohsh, nail polish remover, fragrances, hair dyes, general cleaners, hair sprays and setting lotions. In most cases, ethanol is the only solvent. Nail polish and nail polish remover contain a large variety of solvents. Several recent patents " give information on current developmental work in this area.
